Typical example
If necessary, follow Steps 1.a and 1.b in order to install shaft (1) .
Align oil hole (Y) on shaft (1) with the temporary mark on the cylinder block.
Use a soft faced hammer and a hard wooden drift to install shaft (1) into the cylinder block.Note: Install shaft (1) squarely into the cylinder block. Ensure that oil hole (Y) is aligned with the temporary mark and that the shoulder on the shaft is seated against the face of the cylinder block.
Ensure that plate (4) and idler gear (5) are clean and free from wear or damage. If necessary, replace any components that are worn or damaged.
Ensure that number one piston is at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

Alignment of timing marks
Lubricate shaft (1) with clean engine oil. Position idler gear (5) onto shaft (1). Ensure that timing marks (X) on the gears are aligned. Refer to Illustration 5.
Lubricate the bearing surface of plate (4) with clean engine oil. Install plate (4), washer (3), and bolt (2) .Note: Ensure that the bearing surface of the plate is toward the idler gear.
Tighten bolt (2) to a torque of 34 N m (25 lb ft).
